I have made a little app for vocabulary training. I have been trying to teach myself Japanese the last month or so and I made this to help quiz myself on my Japanese Vocabulary.
Download location is here: Vocabulary Trainer
Go ahead and play with it. You can make your own vocab lists (either for different languages, or for other vocabulary, either course topics, programming vocabulary, whatever). It is a very simple format, just a text file with the word to display at the top, ie: Japanese word. Then on the next line, its answer equivalent. Continue adding entries like this to make a list.
Here is a screen shot of the applet.

I actually started work on a Japanese vocabulary trainer for the DS back in the summer. I had to put it on hold because the R4 was completely sold out everywhere but I've been thinking of starting it up again now that it seems to be back.
Theoretically I'd like to be able to capture stroke input to do kanji training. Odds are there are games like this you can buy in Japan already but I doubt they have true customizability.
Hi Norman,
Yes, I have heard of such games (if you want to call them that). It might be interesting to do some stuff like this. In my school we worked with a stroke capturing algorithm and I might be able to take off of this concept. I hadn't thought much about this before... My next step with this trainer program was to use some sort of true type font or something to add hirigana, katekana, and maybe kanji if I can find a font to support it.
I'm guessing you can't download this anymore since it's asking for a password
I have updated the sites downloads section to fix this problem... I am not sure what happened. Thanks for the info and for your interest in this app.
